The Primal of Blood and Bone

Blood and Ash, Book 6

De: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Narrado por: Stina Nielsen, Tim Campbell, Dane Williams

In the shadows and flames, Primals will fall…

And from the blood and ash, new gods will rise.

What was dreamt.

Poppy was never meant to awaken, and the consequences are devastating and far-reaching, stirring ancient powers from their slumber and transforming Casteel and Kieran in ways even the Fates couldn’t have foreseen. But what that means is the least of their concerns. For now.

What was foreseen.

The Blood Crown has fallen, but what has risen is a far greater danger than they’ve ever faced. From flesh and fire, the Great Conspirator has returned to the mortal realm, and he wants only one thing. They must stop the true Primal of Death before he regains his strength, and it won’t be easy. Even weakened, his influence is undeniable. His power, unthinkable.

Has come to be.

While the future of the realms rests upon them, they won’t stand alone. The gods have awakened—each harboring their own blood-soaked secrets. But they must navigate an unbalanced realm, where every choice—past and present—has the potential to not only undo everything they’ve fought for but also destroy the very bonds that have Joined them together.

For the Harbinger and the Bringer of Death and Destruction has risen.

Darn 😕

Unfortunately, this was a disappointing read for me. I have been SO EXCITED for this book to finally release. If you’ve made it to book 6, then you’re already a fan of this series like I am. One of my favorite things about books 1-4 is the relationship between Cass, Kieran and Poppy. The banter, the comfort, the joy of a heart mate and best friend, the bonds and unbreakable loyalty to one another. That entire dynamic was destroyed in this book. I can honestly say that I don’t even like Casteel anymore, that’s how different his character is. And he was one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE MMC. The characters are just not the same loveable characters of the first four books and that’s tremendously disappointing to me. It feels like there was a ton of unnecessary angst. I was hoping to see the three of them working together to destroy Kolis. I will definitely be waiting for book 7 but the chances of me ever rereading book 6 is zero. I’ll end the rereads at book 5… especially if Cass and Kieran and Poppy don’t reconcile in a way that I can be happy with.

Repetitive Slog

This book was easily twice as long as it needed to be. Very little action but a whole lot of rather meaningless melodrama. And after being hyped as the conclusion to the series it appears that it will drag on for at least another book. Since the main characters have become so boring and predictable it hardly seems as though there is any incentive to revisit them in a year or so, cliffhanger ending notwithstanding.

Speechless!!!!!

I’m dying to know what happens next. I really thought this was going to be the end of this series but I’m glad it’s not. The twists and turns are maddening but I can’t stop listening. I love the love between the 3 of them. But I also think the heart mate is crazy bc Kieran should be in on that too! He loves them both and I wish they loved him more. I’ve fallen for that wolven and I wish Poppy would get with him a lot more! And I’m dying with this cliffhanger. Writing is amazing. Voice acting is amazing. Especially Poppy. The way she does Cas and Kieran is beautiful. A wonderful talent.

Boring…

20 hours in and nothing happened. Except a way off excursion to NY? There is no fire between characters. Just disappointing boohoo between the three of them. There is way too much inner thoughts and no fights, no traveling, NOTHING. I had such big hopes for this book. But I think I will end it at book 5. Feels like a draft that was used to make money.

Love spending time in this world

I guess we will be waiting a while for another book since we don’t really get any resolution…I love spending time with all these characters in this world but after 37 hours I really expected a little more resolution 🤪
